PHOTOS: Walt Disney World's Hidden Mickeys

Hidden Mickeys

A Hidden Mickey is a partial or complete image of Mickey Mouse that has been hidden by Disney's Imagineers and artists in the designs of Disney attractions, hotels, restaurants, and other areas. The most common image is an outline of Mickey's head formed by three circles, one for Mickey's head and two for his ears - the 'classic' Hidden Mickey.

Wilderness Lodge Resort: At the entrance stairs to the Territory Lounge, a classic Mickey decorates a pot in the right lower section of a wall map.
